Answer:

Explanation:

Ramakrishnan and his friend Abdul who were coming from Chennai got down at

New Delhi railway station. While they were crossing the road to hire a taxi,

Ramakrishnan was hit by a cycle rickshaw. He was immediately admitted in a

government hospital for treatment, where Dr. Nirmala handled his case. Worried

Abdul phoned Ramakrishnan’s uncle and informed his own family also. After about

an hour, Dr. Nirmala told Abdul that there was nothing to worry as Ramakrishnan

had no serious injury. By then Ramakrishnan’s uncle also reached and

Ramakrishnan was discharged. Abdul noticied that the doctor did not charge anything

for her medical advice and charged nominally for the medicines. He asked

Ramakrishnan’s uncle, how it was possible? The uncle who is a teacher told that

in a country like India which is a welfare state, all this is the responsibility of the

government. Now Abdul was confronted by a basic question, “what does a welfare

state mean”?

You may also have come across this term while going through newspapers or

magazines or watching a discussion on television. You might have noted that whenever

India is described as a welfare state, there is a reference to Directive Principles

of State Policy. Why? Like Abdul, you may have a number of questions. In the

lesson analyse and understand all the important facets of India being a welfare state
